Finding Your Perfect Fit: Why UNSER Offers More Than Standard Sizes

The challenge with standard U.S. sizing

Most chefwear is offered in broad jumps—S, M, L—that don’t account for real bodies or long, high-heat shifts—the result: tight shoulders, baggy waists, rolled cuffs, and constant adjusting on the line.

In-Between Sizes, explained

UNSER offers in-between sizes (e.g., SM and ML) to bridge the gaps standard charts leave behind.

• SM = between Small and Medium
  
  

• ML = between Medium and Large
  
  

These half-steps reduce compromise. If you’re broad through the shoulders but slimmer at the waist—or right between sizes—you can select a size that actually matches your frame.

The fit advantage

Better fit shows up everywhere:

• Comfort: less pulling at the shoulders; cuffs sit where they should.
  
  

• Performance: move freely, focus on service—not your sleeves.
  
  

• Presentation: a clean line that looks sharp in open kitchens and FOH moments.
